Test with a battery plugged in. i know its silly but the past few 00165s have not been starting up without a battery for me.

Tricky one here. Customer Stated that it did not recognize SSD and Thunderbolt Ethernet does not work. Works fine on external drives and thunderbolt does work for display, Just not ethernet. I have a feeling these are connected and its an issue with PCIE. SSD Reset L is at 3.3v and i have 3.3V...
